“I never knew motherhood could be so truly gratifying until I had Natasha.”

I didn’t know who the hell I was. I was whoever they wanted me to be.

If I didn’t believe in what I’m doing, I’d rather go to work in a dime store.

From ages 10 to 12 or so, I barely remember anything.

There are certain stars who are not actors. I don’t want to be that type.

I was so young, and making movies, going to the studio every morning at dawn was magic.

The times that I have done something that I didn’t respond to emotionally right away, it’s generally not worked out too well.

I didn’t like children. I didn’t think of myself as a child. I didn’t like any of the things other children were interested in.

For the first time I feel an inner emotional security. There is reality and dependability. My life revolves around Richard and the baby.

I’ve been terrified of the water, and yet it seems I’m forced to go into in on every movie that I make.

I thought it was a wonderful line – right on the cutting room floor.

My mother used to tell me, No matter what they ask you, always say yes. You can learn later.

I’m just going to have to grow old, because I’m too terrified to have anything done.

At night, when the sky is full of stars and the sea is still you get the wonderful sensation that you are floating in space.

I’m not very bright about money. I’m not domestic either. If I don’t learn how to cook, maybe I won’t have to.

A lot changed when I had Natasha. I’m a survivor.

Stardom is only a by-product of acting. I don’t think being a movie star is a good enough reason for existing.

The best place to begin is always with gratitude.

Jesus does not demand great actions from us, but simply surrender and gratitude.

Gratitude is a word that I cherish. Gratitude is what defines the happiness and humanity of the human being.

The acknowledgment of and gratitude for favors and gifts received is loved and esteemed in Heaven and on earth.

Even though we sometimes would not get a thing, we were happy with the joy the day would bring.

Appreciate everything, even the ordinary. Especially the ordinary.

There is always something left to love.

When a person doesn’t have gratitude, something is missing in his or her humanity.
